My VM is slow. My Xendesktop is slow. A common concern we see spatted all over the place when attempting to virtualize somebody’s desktop. Mostly it’s an issue with a user using resources several thousand miles away via a mapped network drive. Come on now! It’s not the vm that’s running sluggish; it’s the access database you are running from London when your vm is sitting in Texas!

I’m not sure I’d even reserve this as an opportunity for a seasoned desktop professional. In all honesty – there is not many people out there that has both xenapp(citrix), hyper-v, and packaging experiance. Maybe I just contradicted myself. Perhaps this is indeed a great opportunity for somebody who started their career on the helpdesk and worked their way into an engineering/citrix role. The only thing i do not see is “scripting” as none of this could be accomplished without the ability to script. Mainly VB or Powershell or even VB.NET.
Description:
• Support Virtual Desktop environment: Citrix, Xendesktop, Xenapp, provisioning, Microsoft Hyper-V, Windows OS.
• MS Office product support: problem ticket resolution, installs, upgrades, macros, licensing.
